HISD board candidates to square off in forum

All of the candidates seeking Houston Independent School District board seats in the Nov. 1 election are scheduled to appear Tuesday at a forum sponsored by the Texas Education Center, a coalition of nonprofits.

The event at Lamar High School, 3325 Westheimer, will begin at 6 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

The candidates, some of whom have already begun answering questions elsewhere on this blog, will engage in “discussion and debate, facilitated by an expert panel composed of leaders from the nonprofit realm,” according to a news release announcing the forum.
